| Super Mario 3D Land is already out here in Japan and I want to buy it so bad but I can't because of Nintendo's stupid region lock! ;O; |

| Nintendo can eat my foot for Region Locking. If they had done that with the original DS I would not have Jump Ultimate Stars. Douchebags. >=[ |

| Yeah... I really don't understand the region-lock thing. I've never understood it. English, Japanese; a game is a game is a game. And more of those available to all people means more potential sales for companies. Believe me, if someone wants a game badly enough that wasn't released in their country, they'll find a way to play it. Region-free systems means they can without too much hassle, and definitely without potential system damage or death. |

| Yeah I don't really understand it either. I'm certainly not buying a Japanese 3DS just to import games. |

| It's also sort of not fair to consumers. I WANT to play games like Tales of Graces, Xenoblade, and Pandora's Tower. (to name a few.) But I and you and anyone else in the US can't really do so, since they were only released (ande/or will be) in Japan and Europe. It would require not only a European Wii (to play legally, anyway.) but some kind of converter thingy since we use NTSC and everywhere else uses PAL. Oh, you could mod your Wii's and play semi-legally, but then you risk bricking them. I'm not about to do that. (I wouldn't trust myself to try and fix anything I have no knowledge of.) |

| Yeah I'm not into modding my systems either, I'd love to import a few games from Europe but I won't be doing it for any Nintendo systems any time soon. Sony continues to be awesome and make it's systems region free though. =D |

| That is one thing I'll give them. (I don't like to hype any of the three, since I like stuff about all of them... or at least Ninty and Sony. Don't really hate on Microsoft, I'm just not very familiar with them. *shrugs*) |

| I give credit where it is due, and criticize where it is due. I like a lot of things about Sony but I'll still call them on their crap. |

Microsoft is good at catching and preventing hackers, but they eat your cash. That aside, as for the ridiculousness of the region lock, I am thoroughly disappointed. |

Does it matter? Given that reviewers can be bought off I'm kind of tired of giving them any real credit. |
